Description

Messier 35 is a large open star cluster 2,800 light-years away that can be seen near Castor’s right foot in the constellation Gemini. M35 – or NGC 2168  as it’s also known – probably contains about 500 stars, and is thought to be about 100 million years old. This might seem very old, but it is relatively young in astronomical terms.
